While still without a graphic style to characterize ‘Malaysian design’, we can begin to unravel the threads of influences through the choices of imagery and symbolism that were articulated.

About The Project

Malaysia Design Archive is a space to trace and document Malaysian ‘endangered’ design legacy, to preserve our historical past, as well as to create a resource of Malaysian design work.

HELP BUILD OUR DESIGN RESOURCE

This is an on-going archival project and hopefully through this, we are able to build up a valuable and useful design resource. If you'd like to contribute to the project, please write to us for more info.
